The MRS-8 allows various other tuning types besides
chromatic tuning, including standard tuning for guitar

Using the example of a guitar/bass connected to the

to use other tuning types.
1.
Connect the instrument that you want to
tune to the INPUT 1 connector and set the
INPUT [ON/OFF] key 1 to ON.
Make sure that the [INPUT 1 SELECT] switch is set to
GUITAR/BASS. If the [MIC] key is lit, press the key so
that it is flashing or out.

Press the [ENTER] key to turn the tuner
function on, and use the cursor left/right
keys to select the tuning type.

notes for each string are listed in the table below.
For example, when you select the tuning type
“GUITAR”, the display shows the following information.
